Before thy cross, my dying Lord,
I cast my soul, and trust thy love;
Oh, here thy saving power afford,
And seal my pardon from above!
No threatening foes shall drive me hence,
Helpless and fainting I draw near;
Resolved (for ’tis my fast defence),
If I must die, to perish here.
But, Saviour! for thy mercy‘s sake,
Relieve the anguish of my heart;
The bruiséd reed thou wilt not break,
Nor bid the contrite soul depart.
Washed in thy blood, I shall be pure ;
Cheered by thy smile, shall feel no shame;
Saved by thy love, I stand secure,
And triumph in a Saviour’s name!
